About
Medivis stands at the intersection of AI, augmented reality, and spatial computing to create a new standard of surgical intelligence. Its core platform, SurgicalAR, converts complex 2D cross-sectional imaging—CT scans and MRIs—into photorealistic 3D models that surgeons can interact with using hands and voice. The system supports open and minimally invasive spine surgery, EVDs, subdural evacuations, craniotomies, and prostate procedures. The platform is FDA-cleared and CE-marked, with on-premise IT infrastructure and certified gold-standard security. Key capabilities include livestreaming imaging and video to virtual monitors, infrared instrument tracking by specialty, STL/OBJ model import, flexible workflow integrations, and an incoming AI agent (Maia). Hardware configurations range from the Medivis PRO (a 27" 4K OR-ready workstation), to the portable Medivis CORE (for ICUs and clinics), and Medivis VIEWER (for office-based surgical planning). With over 2,000 surgeries performed using SurgicalAR, 46 patents granted or pending, and recognition including Best Inventions of 2023 and Most Innovative Company 2024, Medivis is trusted by leading neurosurgeons and surgical institutions. It is designed for hospitals, surgical centers, and medical schools seeking to reduce steep learning curves, minimize large equipment footprints, and improve patient outcomes through real-time spatial guidance.
Key Features
- FDA-Cleared Surgical Navigation: Offers cleared navigation modules for spine and cranial surgery, with research-only support for prostate procedures, ensuring regulatory compliance in clinical settings.
- 3D Surgical Visualization (SurgicalAR): Converts 2D CT and MRI scans into photorealistic 3D models overlaid in the surgical field, enabling surgeons to plan and execute with greater spatial awareness.
- Spatial Interaction with Hands and Voice: Surgeons can manipulate 3D holograms using natural hand gestures and voice commands, maintaining sterility while accessing critical imaging data.
- Infrared Instrument Tracking: Real-time infrared tracking of surgical instruments by specialty provides precise positional feedback to guide procedures with accuracy.
- Flexible Hardware Configurations: Three hardware tiers—Medivis PRO for ORs, Medivis CORE for ICUs and clinics, and Medivis VIEWER for office use—accommodate diverse clinical environments.
Use Cases
- Guiding neurosurgeons through complex craniotomies and EVD placements using real-time AR overlays of patient-specific 3D anatomy.
- Assisting spine surgeons in open and minimally invasive procedures with AR-guided instrument navigation and 3D imaging visualization.
- Enabling preoperative surgical planning by allowing surgeons to visualize and interact with holographic patient models from office or clinic settings.
- Supporting medical school training programs with immersive 3D anatomical models and simulated surgical scenarios using AnatomyX.
- Facilitating ICU and bedside procedures with the portable Medivis CORE workstation for real-time imaging guidance outside the OR.
Pros
- FDA-Cleared and CE-Marked: Regulatory clearances across major markets provide hospitals with confidence in clinical safety and compliance.
- Proven in Real Surgical Settings: With 2,000+ surgeries performed and 40+ hospital deployments, SurgicalAR has a demonstrated track record in real operating rooms.
- Intuitive Spatial Interfaces: Voice and hand-gesture controls replace traditional 2D interfaces, reducing learning curves and keeping surgeons focused on the patient.
- Continuous Software Updates at Lower Cost: The subscription model provides ongoing improvements and new features without the large capital expenditure of legacy imaging systems.
Cons
- Enterprise-Only Pricing: Medivis is positioned as an enterprise solution targeted at hospitals and surgical centers, making it inaccessible to individual practitioners or smaller clinics without significant budget.
- Requires Specialized Hardware: Full OR functionality depends on proprietary hardware configurations (PRO, CORE, VIEWER), which may require infrastructure changes or procurement processes.
- Limited Specialty Coverage: Current cleared navigation is focused on spine and cranial procedures; prostate navigation remains research-only, limiting scope for other surgical specialties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Medivis SurgicalAR FDA cleared?
Yes. Medivis SurgicalAR is FDA-cleared for spine navigation and cranial navigation. The prostate navigation module is currently available for research use only pending FDA clearance.
What types of imaging does SurgicalAR support?
SurgicalAR transforms 2D cross-sectional imaging including CT scans and MRIs into high-fidelity 3D visualizations. It also supports STL and OBJ model imports.
How does Medivis track surgical instruments?
Medivis uses infrared instrument tracking tailored by surgical specialty, providing real-time positional data to guide surgeons with precision during procedures.
What hardware options does Medivis offer?
Medivis offers three configurations: Medivis PRO (27" 4K touch monitor with NVIDIA GPU for ORs), Medivis CORE (17" portable workstation for ICUs and clinics), and Medivis VIEWER (for office-based surgical planning).
How do I get started with Medivis?
